In the early 1980s, four brave Scandinavian scientists - Georg Guomundrson, Horst Guomundurson, Jules Haugen, and Cleif Jårvinen - participated in a research project in Greenland called Niu Teningur, or the Nine Cubes. Little is known about the Nine Cubes, as all four men went on to other projects and refuse to discuss the testing that took place in Greenland. Though few records exist about those experiments, evidence purportedly suggests those tests laid the bedrock for many of the most influential technologies we've seen since.

After the experiment concluded, the four men went on to form underground-favorite band Kasvot Växt, and subsequently release their sole album, í rokk, on the niche Norwegian label, Elektrisk Tung, in 1985. The album remains one of the most influential ever to come from the Nordic countries. Through a series of misfortunes, nearly all remaining copies of í rokk have been destroyed or lost to the sands of time. Thankfully, bootleg tapes exist and can be found by the savvy internet musketeer.

Nine Cubes, LLC pays homage to the Niu Teningur experiment. Nearing on a half-century later, we're left to speculate about just what occurred in Greenland, but in the spirit of small tests leading to major innovations, and innovations leading to conquering new musical horizons — we are the Nine Cubes.
